Create a table with the following information: country, isocode, n (count of participants), female percentage (%), mean age, age range, and risktaking

# Group the data by country
table_data <- gps_data %>%
  group_by(country, isocode) %>%
  summarize(
    n = n(),
    female_percentage = mean(gender == 1) * 100,
    mean_age = mean(age, na.rm = TRUE),
    age_range = paste(min(age, na.rm = TRUE), "-", max(age, na.rm = TRUE)),
    mean_risktaking = mean(risktaking, na.rm = TRUE)
  )

`summarise()` has grouped output by 'country'. You can override using the `.groups` argument.
